The story

Sedona Mountain Bike Festival in Sedona

The Sedona Mountain Bike Festival gathers riders from around the world for three days of demo bikes, guided rides, and skills clinics on the region's red rock singletrack. Now held in the fall after a schedule shift from its earlier spring dates, the festival features more than ninety industry vendors, making it one of the largest demo and vendor showcases in American mountain biking.

Sedona's red rock terrain, slickrock benches, technical rock features, and miles of flowing red-dirt singletrack, made it a mountain biking destination almost as soon as the sport matured enough to seek out challenging natural terrain rather than purpose-built courses.
